my age of magic

Chapter 566 64. Every magician is not simple

I really wanted to restrain the smile on my face and make myself look more reluctant. I decided to walk slowly so as not to leave a frizzy impression on the old magician.

In the crevices of the fine pebbles by the lake, some tender grasses as thin as cow hair poked out their heads, stretching out their slender blue and yellow figures. When they stepped on them, they seemed to be able to feel the groans of those grasses. The breeze blowing from above blew the Misori robe close to my body. I half-closed my eyes against the wind and looked at the old mage standing on the path by the lake.

He is very old, I can't tell how old he is, maybe he is over 150 years old, who knows!
He stood on the side of the road with his hands folded and looked at Luka and me with a smile. He was dressed in a lotus-colored magic robe exuding a faint magical halo. The tauren Luka had a relatively large pace, and he was already standing in front of the old mage without stopping. He smiled foolishly, and the small tail exposed from the leather pants was still swaying non-stop. It looked like a pug trying to please its master, rather than a majestic tauren.

I was worried that Luka, the tauren, had said something wrong, so I quickened my pace to follow.

The old mage had already started to question Luka about some things. We could hear the first few sentences clearly, but only heard Luka's "hmmmmmmm" answer.

"...The Pai Plateau is a good place. The wasteland there is rich in hemorrhoids. It's a pity that it's not a time of war, otherwise those hemorrhages would be more expensive than food. Now those hemorrhages are probably not so valuable." His pale blue eyes revealed deep gazes, and he turned his head to look northwest, as if his long-lost memories were buried there.

Apparently Luka didn't see the heavy thoughts written on the face of the old mage, but continued according to the old mage's words: "Well, the leaves of the hemorrhage grass are too bitter, except for those one-horned bison and gazelle, other animals are I don't like to eat."

Hearing Luka's muffled words, the old mage suddenly woke up, and the nostalgia for the memory of his youth completely disappeared from his eyes a moment ago.

The old mage calmed down and said, "Young tauren, does your tribe have ancestors? Do the tauren in your tribe have surnames?"

Luka said honestly: "Well, the tauren in our tribe are all surnamed Whitehoof, and my name is Luka Whitehoof."

It was also the first time I heard Luka say his surname. I didn't expect that Luka was actually a tauren in a big tribe.

The old mage even opened his mouth slightly, with an even more surprised expression on his face. He stood in front of Luka, facing Luka, who was more than two meters tall, and the old mage could only touch Luka's thick chest with his hand. Said to Luka: "When I was young, I went to your tribe and lived there for a while. I learned some knowledge of gathering from Ukrull Whitehoof Shaman of your tribe at that time. He was a kind man. And the honest elder, he taught me a lot of knowledge in the wasteland." The old magician's eyes showed nostalgia.

He stared closely at Luka's eyes, and asked Luka again: "Tell me, young man, how did you end up here, if you need help, I think I can help you fulfill a small wish!"

Hearing what the old mage said, Luka turned his head and looked at me with excitement and excitement in his eyes.

I didn't expect that Luka and this old mage had such a relationship. Luka stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and asked the old mage with a silly smile: "Ah, is it really possible?"

It was at this time that the old mage looked at me, and I felt that his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see everything, and I felt inexplicably empty when I saw it, so he turned his head and said to the tauren Luka: "Of course, this is a The promise of the old magic scholar, as long as it is within my ability."

"If possible, I would like to go to that garden!" The tauren Luka pointed to the location of the small island in the middle of the lake, his brows were wide open, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"That's all?" The old mage slightly opened his drooping eyelids, with a light of surprise in his eyes, and asked the tauren Luka.

The tauren nodded naively, and then looked at the old mage expectantly like a curious baby.

"Is this your idea, or his?" The old mage asked Karoo casually.

"I want to see it. Jia said there are some plants that I have never seen before. It used to be a water system magic ecological park." No, that's okay."

Obviously, the old mage would not refuse such a simple request from the Tauren Ruka. He took a deep look at the Tauren Ruka, as if he was somewhat disappointed that the Tauren wasted such a precious wish.Maybe he thought Luka the tauren didn't really get the meaning of his words, but he didn't say much.

"Alright, if you can help me get rid of the weeds in the Pteris flame grass nursery, I can let you wander around in my magic herb garden." The old magician finally agreed and said to me: "If you want to take a boat, the pier is over there, and you can row there by yourself."

After saying this, the old mage didn't even look at us any more, turned around and left.

……

Originally, I just wanted to design a chance encounter with this old mage by the lake, and then maybe I would be arrested, just like the "Guide to Life at the Academy of Magic", and was assigned by the old mage to the small island in the middle of the lake A half-day labor in the magic eco-garden, which is exactly what I expected.

My purpose is very simple. I don't just want to see the preciousness of the rare magical herbs cultivated in the ecological garden of the Royal Academy of Magic, but I want to recommend Ruka the Tauren to the magical herbal garden The old mage inside, I want Luka to become a gardener in the herb garden, so that Luka can stay in the Royal Academy of Magic in a legitimate way. For Luka, the underground cave is undoubtedly like a prison. , he's been bored these days.I originally told Luka to return to the above-ground world of Xinliu Valley with the orcs on duty in the underground cave to relax, but unfortunately he was worried that I would not be able to find him in a critical moment. No matter how I persuaded him, he would Don't want to be too far away from the teleportation altar in the underground cave.

I saw in the booklet that there is such a nursery for growing magical herbs in the Royal Academy of Magic, and a bold idea came to my mind, that is, I will use the 'Hammer of the Time Breaker' in a secluded place in the academy Open the portal, call out the tauren Luka in the underground cave, and then bring him to this secluded lake, silently waiting for the appearance of the old mage, and expecting him to be as usual, While he was taking a walk, he summoned the students from the Academy of Magic to the nursery in the water system ecological park for half a day of physical labor.

With this half-day, I want Luka the Tauren to fully demonstrate the true innate ability of the Tauren family, which is the so-called planting and nurturing. This ability is the innate talent of the Tauren.

For the tauren family, they are born with an affinity for natural magic and have a keen insight into magic herbs. It can be said that both the tauren and the night elves have the talent of affinity with nature, and they are easy to cultivate Drew Yi's race.

And I also gave Luka a drop of 'Life Essence'. The most direct way to use this precious magic material is to dilute it with water and pour it into the roots of plants that are dying. The diluted life essence can bring any plant back to life. Find someone At the right time, show your hand in front of the old mage, maybe the old mage will leave Luka in the water system ecological park.

The three drops of "Life Essence" in my hand come from the world tree that grows on the small island in the center of the lake in the round valley of Xinliu Valley. It promises to give me a drop of "Life Essence" every year. It is said that this pure" Life Essence' is an extremely rare magic material, which contains a very powerful breath of life. Many high-level magic potions need this kind of magic material. I am ashamed to say that this is one of the few high-level magic materials I have. In addition, maybe the devil's blood in that blood pool can barely be regarded as a high-level magic material. I used to own some precious core stones, but it was a pity that they were used by President Xixi in the Sluit Province Magic Association. Some magic items are traded away.

In fact, I have been thinking about Xinliu Valley, because I have already occupied one of the nine floating mountains in Xinliu Valley, and I also wanted to let the female beast warrior Kalancuo take the orcs to find the mountain that leads to the main peak. I heard that it is the most affluent place in Xinliu Valley. In the past three years, Kalancuo has not had any news about the one-way portal. I am like a person wandering alone at the gate of the treasure house. Treasure hunters other than the treasure house do not have the key to the gate of the treasure house in their hands, so they can only look at the treasure and sigh, ha, the topic is a bit far away.

In my opinion, the part of the "Guide to Life at the Academy of Magic" that describes the old mage seems to be a bit of hearsay. Only when I met the old mage did I deeply appreciate the wisdom in his eyes. Walking by the lake behind the academy is not looking for free labor, but is constantly giving these students in the Royal Academy of Magic a chance to learn. For magical herbalism, what can be seen in books will never be available. The truth seen in the nursery, every scholar of magical herbalism needs a lot of time for field experience, and finding those precious magical herbal species in the wild is more convenient than the nursery in the magic herbal garden. directly.

Although the encounter with the old mage did not leave a good impression on the old mage, and things did not develop step by step according to the steps I designed, but the final result undoubtedly made people feel a little bit happy Yes, no matter what, Luka and I managed to sneak into the water system ecological park. Now that the first step has been taken, then half of the success...

……

"Before you came out of the tribe, did you learn the harvesting technique?" I walked in front of Luka, without looking back, and said to Luka.

There is a gentle breeze blowing on the lake, but it only makes the clear lake sparkle against the dazzling sunlight. Stepping on the slightly undulating waves is like an alpaca standing in the shallow sand, with' In the magical state of walking on water, I can run freely on the lake.

The tauren Karu behind stepped on the water carefully, as if walking on thin ice. I could hear his slightly rapid breathing, and he seemed a little nervous.

Although the magic skill of 'Walking on Water' allowed him to walk freely on the water surface, the obstacle in his heart made him look very nervous, but he never crossed that step.

"Elementary harvesting skills, I still know some. When I was young, I collected elementary magic herbs around the tribe with the older children in the tribe. This is what our tauren children must do every day. Yes, it belongs to us. Childhood life." Luka said truthfully to me, then recalled, and asked me with some worry: "Hi, Jijia, what do you want to do?"

"Hey!" I turned around and walked side by side with the tauren Luka, and then comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do things against your will."

Seeing the Tauren Luka's body has not been stretched yet, so I can only add another sentence: "If you are left by the old mage to look at the garden, you must know some basic knowledge of herbal medicine."

Only then was Luka relieved, with a silly smile on his face, and hurriedly followed.

As far as Luka is concerned, although he has a very good temper and a very simple and honest person, it is often difficult to change some things he has recognized.

Obviously, he has listed that old mage as a good person right away, so he will not allow me to do things that are detrimental to the old mage's interests. I am most speechless.

We didn't take the canoe that the old mage said, but I directly cast the magic skill 'Water Walking', and then we directly crossed the lake hundreds of meters wide in front of us. In fact, standing on the lake and turning back to the shore Looking at it, it's like standing on a square with a wide view and seeing only a blurred green shadow on the horizon in the distance. It's beautiful, too, except when Luca and I sat on the shore of the lake, it didn't feel that way.

Looking inside through the magic mask, there is a large area of ​​lush tropical plants inside, those dark green palm leaves hang down from the thick trunks, where did Luka the tauren see such a plant with large leaves, looking at it The ecological garden is lined with green trees, and all kinds of unnamed tropical plants are scattered around the small island, and some trees are even covered with numerous fruits. He was fascinated by it for a while.

After stepping through the light curtain gate under the magic shield of the ecological park, a wave of heat rushed towards us. The sudden temperature change made Luka and I feel very uncomfortable. We just stood there for a while. There was a layer of fine sweat, and the whole body seemed to be burning with fire, but the rich water element around me made me feel very comfortable. I felt that all the pores on my body had been opened, and every part of my body was covered with water. The pores everywhere are greedily devouring the water element floating in the air.

Luka shook the clothes that were stained on his body, and the sweat on his forehead immediately dripped down his face. He was so hot that his mouth was split open and he was panting. His lips also looked dry, and the fat tongue added a dry Lips, the tauren looked at the fresh and tender fruits on the tropical tree branches, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He stretched out his hand, tore off a leaf from a cattail fan tree next to him, and fanned himself casually. I said, "Jia, it's so hot in here!"

Before I could speak, the leaves in the bushes on the side trembled slightly. A man with glasses wearing black arcane trousers and a white shirt on his upper body appeared in front of us. Weeds, but even so, he still looks extraordinary, like a weak wind mage, but at this time he looked at Luka the tauren in a little astonishment, and pointed at Luka's face with one finger. Nose, said to Luka: "You...how can you tauren destroy the vegetation here at will?"
